Working dogs and ferrets clearing rabbits across Parkes. We protect your land, crops and stock.
Small Hunters. Big Results.
Why It Matters
Wild European rabbits were introduced in 1859 and exploded across the continent thanks to a lack of natural predators and a highly favourable climate. Today they cause massive environmental degradation and cost agriculture over $200 million every year in lost production. Their rapid breeding, overgrazing and burrowing threaten native wildlife and alter entire ecosystems, and on your land, they hit your bottom line.
A single pair can become hundreds in a season. Left alone, a small infestation overruns a property before you know it.
Just seven rabbits consume roughly the same vegetation as one dry sheep. That is feed you've paid for, gone underground.
Warrens collapse soil, undermine fences and machinery, and trigger severe wind and water erosion.
The Real Cost
It's not just a few nibbled plants. Rabbits hit the land, the livestock and the native bush all at once.
Heavy grazing reduces crop yields and strips pasture meant for sheep and cattle. Seven rabbits eat as much as one dry sheep, and they never stop.
Overgrazing strips ground cover while digging and warren construction destabilise the soil, causing severe wind and water erosion.
Rabbits compete directly with native wildlife like bilbies and wombats, plus your livestock, for food and shelter.
A primary threat to at least 300 threatened species. By eating native plants, stopping seedling regeneration and ringbarking saplings, they destroy critical habitat.
As a reliable food source, rabbits sustain feral cats and foxes, which then turn on small native animals.
Burrows undermine fence lines, tracks, dam walls and foundations, leaving holes that break legs and damage equipment.
What We Do
Traditional, hands-on rabbit control for farms, acreage and rural properties around Parkes. No poisons left lying around your stock. Just proven methods that work.
Targeted clearing of rabbit populations with experienced working dogs. Fast, effective knock-down of active mobs across your paddocks.
The traditional method. Ferrets flush rabbits straight out of their warrens so nothing's left breeding underground.
We don't just thin the numbers. We get into the warrens to break the cycle and keep your property under control long-term.
Don't Forget
Wild rabbits can carry serious diseases harmful to humans, most notably tularemia ("rabbit fever"). While direct encounters are rare, handling infected animals or contact with contaminated water or insects poses a genuine health risk. Leave the handling to people who do it for a living.
